Businesswise Solutions has partnered with the British
Hospitality Association (BHA) and hospitality industry figureheads
to launch an advisory board that will aim to bring about positive
change in the sector.

The newly formed board will meet quarterly to discuss energy
concerns, challenges and energy-related cost saving tactics within
the industry.

Following initial discussions, Businesswise Solutions is now
lobbying key government ministers for more incentives to reduce
carbon usage which would result into savings for the
industry.

Frazer Durris commented: "There are few schemes in place to
incentivise the industry to reduce their carbon footprint. The
sector needs government support to release hundreds of millions
back in to the industry and make a major impact on the carbon
reduction targets. It would benefit both the industry and help the
government meet their targets."

Serge Shishkin concluded: "Businesses from across the hospitality
and tourism sector are facing the serious challenge of increasing
cost pressures. It is more important now than ever before look for
efficiencies to ensure growth and on-going success. The BHA is
delighted to be part of the Energy Advisory Board chaired by
Businesswise Solutions; and, with energy being a major business
cost, the BHA aims to help its members to facilitate the adoption
of cost management strategies which in turn will help reduce costs
as well as to lower their environmental impact. Through assisting
its members, the BHA has already seen great success in other areas
around sustainability with real, tangible results being achieved.
This focus on energy, sustainability and cost reduction will
continue in 2018."
